Brian didn’t accidentally hit him. The guy cutting the tree is also dogging the crane. The crane driver can’t see what you see from on the cab. The guy rigging the load should communicate with the crane driver until he has a clear view of the hook. The guy in the tree needs to do some dogging training. “Yep” doesn’t mean stop. And asking what he wants to do? The crane driver is literally just pressing the buttons you ask him to.

Never put your stabilizers on sidewalks. There is no structural standards for sidewalks, no rebar, low psi mix. You would have been better off cribbing on the grass. It is less likely to suddenly break and cause the crane/load to shift.

Any place you put an outrigger down should have cribbing under it, dirt,grass sidewalks. I would use a sidewalk with a load pad or large area cribbing before I would trust soil. You need to distribute the footprint to the largest area you can make. You can never trust soil as being compacted properly to support an outrigger. When the boom is directed over that outrigger the load on that corner will skyrocket. For that new crane you should buy or make some 3x5x4" steel/concrete crane pads as the base, then crib as needed to level. Boom deflection will vary according to line load, as you get to use the crane you will learn about how much deflection for a given load. The jib will lower the available load capabilities and add to the deflection of the main boom just because of how it is attached. Always consult your load chart for proper capabilities.

Honestly, being a tree trimmer or cutter is in a way an art form. When you see an experienced tree cutter go to work it's rather amazing ... Very impressive . I went on a side job with a guy and he was trimming this old woman's tree in her backyard and this dude would tie three big limbs and cut them one by one after he cut them they would hang in the order he cut them. It was damn awesome once he got done with all three cuts there would be one limb hanging, above it the second limb and above that one the third and they just swayed there lol ...it was really cool . My first and only time being on that type of job but I have respect for these dudes and their tricks of the trade .

Cranes can be a huge asset to the tree industry. As a certified crane operator of 20 years, I would caution against shock loading your new toy. I know the top wasn't all that heavy, but when the line catches the top, you are looking at anywhere from 2-5 times the weight impacting the line and boom. Most cranes fail from overweight pics from shock load. Great video. Have fun!

Amazing. I had to shut my eyes a couple of times. Great professionalism.

I cut trees for 15 years in central N Carolina but never had equipment like this, awesome job and great employer. We always roped every branch down when i couldn't drop them.

I have a hidden switch to shut my backup beeper off, when I have it home for maintenance. My 30 ton National, like the 38 ton boom truck shown, have shorter sticks and less capacity, but I can often get closer to the work due to only 20' outrigger spread. I have zero tail swing also. Like airplanes, cars and about anything else, there are always drawbacks to going bigger. No one machine can do it all, if I get a bigger one it'll be a 60 ton , and I'll keep the 30 for the smaller jobs. At 5:49 the guy is putting in the small lynch pin into the big pin, it's only really needed if you're driving with the pads on (which makes you over width, but if it's a short drive.....), I never put it in. Once set up, the big pin ain't going anywhere, and it saves a little time. The small pin isn't needed for transport when the pad is stowed either, as the big pin faces down. 3500 hours of National time, 20,000 hr + of total boom truck time here, but NO tree work, thank you very much! Much respect, for those who do!

Great Job Guys, I've been in this industry for 50 years, you guys are the tops!

After swinging 500 lb. logs over a house, with a 5/8" rope, into another tree, about 35 ft away, learned a lot that day. Rope held up fine.

I don’t remember the “using your crane’s cable as a man lift” chapter in our OSHA training manual 😂

Must be certified on the crane and be secured from 2 separate points and your good to go.

Given the circumstances, it's the safest thing they could have done. Climbing is risky in its own right, truck lifts are too short and scissor lifts need a very level solid floor. Then there are helicopters, but way out of budget and the hard-to-get licenses would kill their business.

I’m not understanding I thought this was a meaningless joke. They were using the crane to take the tree down. Who in the hell would climb all the way to the top when the crane can just put you there? A 6000lb section of tree is ok but a 155lb person is just crazy? You know they make specific slings to tie into on the ball? CRAZY!!!

certified operator, working A2B, personnel certified winch, pre job winch brake test and approved rigging or personnel lifting device you are good to go. That's API training, not OSHA. Used to transfer multiple people and baggage from boats to platforms offshore.

@@briankennedy1313 because I THINK, if you only pick up unprocessed organic raw material I dont think you need the certification. I believe as soon as the wood is processed into loke furniture then you do lol

7:55...the human yo-yo. LOL I wouldn't want the yearly insurance bill for it...but it's nice. Our local tree guy is paying $150,000/year for insurance on his. If the crane is sitting he's basically losing money. Great job.

What a shot of Scott reving the saw before his first pick....

13:51 that is the scariest piece of equipment ever.

Jake, you and that crew are absolutely amazing at what you do. Very good work with such tight conditions on this one. Well done guys!

You guys rock. Josh and I like the way you say good job to everybody at the end of whatever tree you're cutting down that's good workmanship your a AWESOME team leader buddy keep up the good work🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍💪💪💪💪

I guess the homeowners didn’t think a tree would grow. Lol. Great job.

Homeowners probably weren't the ones who planted that tree, that thing's been there for a while. And I imagine the ones who did plant it didn't think it would grow that tall lmao

Tall as that tree is it may well predate all those structures. Possibly that entire neighborhood.

"are you ready Brian" all I kept thinking when I heard "Brian" was Stewie's voice 😂

Very professional and those are some badass cranes. People ask me why I do tree work and run heavy equipment I said honest opinion I do it because I love it.

This takes years of experience,excellent communication to take on something like that.

Yup, crane operators making movements without be told to and not telling anyone when they cant see the whole load/picture and go wrong quickly. Same thing we deal with in the water.

I agree. Also should be boomed up a little when those big pieces come loose so they swing back towards the crane and not toward the climber. Climber was taking a beating up there but he handled it like a champ though.

That was impressive on every level, but especially at the end.

You guys are A M A Z I N G. A pleasure to watch. From Australia.

Nice to see wood will be used.

Fascinating video. I know nothing about any of this, but those ropes look pretty frayed. $1 million bucks maybe of new crane -- I'd think about springing for new ropes too! 😊

The orange 'frayed rope' is a steel core lanyard. It is still safe for use. It does look sketchy if you don't know that it is a metal cable core with a rope cover

As a crane operator for a tree service myself (Nccco certified) be carful of dynamic loading of the boom! (When your load is not directly under the boom tip) it’s a good way to have a crane accident. Other than that, well done!
